At Sunbury Stunt and Tumble Academy, we are committed to fostering a positive and respectful environment for all participants, including athletes, coaches, volunteers, and parents. Our Behavior Policy outlines our expectations for behavior and conduct to ensure the safety, well-being, and enjoyment of everyone involved in our programs.
Behavior Expectations for Athletes:
Behavior Expectations for Coaches and Volunteers
Coaches and volunteers must prioritize the safety and well-being of all participants, especially children. Adherence to all child protection policies and guidelines is mandatory.
Coaches and volunteers are expected to model respectful behavior by treating all athletes, regardless of age, gender, skill level, or background, with respect and dignity. Discriminatory or offensive language and behavior are unacceptable.
Maintain professionalism in all interactions. Coaches and volunteers should avoid engaging in inappropriate relationships with athletes, both during and outside of practice.
Ensure that all training sessions and activities are conducted with the highest regard for safety. Monitor and address any unsafe conditions promptly.
Coaches and volunteers should provide positive reinforcement, motivation, and constructive feedback to athletes. Recognizing and celebrating effort and achievements, no matter the scale, is encouraged.
Behavior Expectations for Parents and Guardians:
Parents and guardians should be supportive and encouraging of their child’s cheerleading journey. Avoid undue pressure and prioritize their child’s enjoyment of the sport.
Show respect for coaches, officials, and other participants. Address any concerns or issues through appropriate channels rather than publicly.
Ensure that your child attends practices and events regularly and on time. Prompt arrival and pickup help maintain a smooth and organized schedule.
Support the academy’s safety guidelines and ensure that your child adheres to them. Provide the necessary safety gear and equipment as required.
Maintain open and respectful communication with coaches and the academy administration. Address any concerns or questions promptly and respectfully.
All training will be run without spectators as we find that it is a distraction to the athletes and the class runs better with the athlete’s full attention when parents are not watching. Parents will not interrupt training that is in progress to talk with the coaches, please speak to our receptionists who will pass a message on to the coach or can get the coach for you, if it is not urgent you are welcome to send us an email or call, message or arrange a time to have a meeting if needed otherwise there will be a short time before and after class to talk to the coach.
Consequences for Violations:
Violations of this Behavior Policy may result in consequences, including warnings, suspension, or expulsion from the academy, as determined by the severity of the violation and its impact on the academy’s values and safety.
At Sunbury Stunt and Tumble Academy, we believe that upholding this Behavior Policy creates an environment where everyone can thrive, learn, and enjoy cheerleading. It is the responsibility of all participants, coaches, volunteers, and parents to abide by these standards and contribute to a positive and respectful cheerleading community. Together, we embody the values of respect, safety, and excellence.
